Removing DIMMs
This section discusses the procedure for removing DIMMs from your RSP8.
Use this procedure to remove the existing DIMMs:
Step 1 Turn off the system power and follow the steps in the “Removing the RSP8” section on page 16 .
Step 2 Place the RSP8 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap.
Step 3 Position the RSP8 so that the faceplate is toward you and the bus connectors are away from
Step 4 Locate the DRAM DIMMs on the RSP8. The DIMMs occupy U12 (bank 0) and U15 (bank 1). (See Figure 2.)
Step 5 Open the DIMM socket release levers on the DIMM to release the DIMM from the socket. (See Figure 14.) The DIMM is under tension in the socket; therefore, the DIMM might be released from the socket with some force.
